Luxo Jr. Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Don't care if this isn't football related for now, I'm sure you guys will put a football spin on it! But good luck to everyone else getting A Level results today, all worked out for me, hopefully the same for others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BcfcAllen Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Feels weird for me. I got one result last year and the other 3 about 2 months ago so im just kicking back whilst everybody else around me is in a mad panic mode. Keep thinking though that for some reason that should be me too! I wont complain though, saved me a sleepless night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Don't worry to those that didn't get what they wanted. Through my own lack of enthusiasm and poor teaching, I only achieved two low a level grades. But I graduated last month with a first in a "difficult" subject. Did work damn hard though. Masters at Bristol and plenty of time down the gate for me this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastonboy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ahhh A levels... reminds me of halycon days when A grades weren't given out like smarties and 100% of your results were based on your exam work, not stuff you plagarised from the interweb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 As long as it's not in ******* media studies I won't mind too much! Ancient History?

Nibor Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ancient History? And I hold your sentiment about Media, friend of mine did a dissertation on Zombies in contemporary media. Yep. There's always useful stuff to learn from history. Just not sure there's much to learn from the media. I'd like to see us funnelling more money into maths, science, engineering and less into zombies. In other words I think we should be funding useful stuff more and non useful stuff less. Of course if people want to pay their own way into a phd level knowledge of bad 1980's films, that's fine too. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Congrats everyone a-levels were solid. Well they were 11 years ago. Especially when your teachers are numpties from monks park I go back a lot further than 11 years: for all the exams I have sat (from O levels through university and on to professional exams), I still think A levels were the hardest exams relative to the age I was and the studying had to do.

Agreed, not that I would say a Degree wasn't "harder" there is a lot less pressure attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarf Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Agreed, not that I would say a Degree wasn't "harder" there is a lot less pressure attached. The thing that makes the degree hard is the fact you've got a big student loan in your pocket, AND you're surrounded by mates 24/7. If you've got a weakness for the drink and/or girls (or boys) - then it's bloody difficult to get anything done. Trust me - You need to get on top of that as soon as freshers finishes.

True, discipline is key. Lots of friends of mine are pretty shellshocked after getting a third/2.2, and 20 grand down with no prospects whatsoever.

Fordy62 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's funny when you look back. I've ended up in Birmingham doing a job that's completely nothing to do with my degree.
